Verdict
Though second here last month, Vanderbilt is 0-41 under Rules and 4lb higher today. De Barley Basket showed some improvement when third at Huntingdon in March and he’s had wind surgery since. He could be well treated on his handicap debut but is giving 3lb to the race-fit DYLAN’S SEA SONG, who lost a shoe when finishing second to the well-backed Glendun at Stratford. Zlatan is fit from the Flat but has yet to show much over timber.
